4. P, spathulatum, Mann, Enum. no. 20. — A taller tree than the pre- 
ceding species, the stiff branches densely foliose, with leaves scattering 
or in close whorls. Leaves subcoriaceous, glabrous, cuneate or obovate, 
gradually narrowing from an obtuse or rounded apex into a short petiole, 
3'/2—5‘ & 1—I1/2‘, Inflorescence axillary, and similar for both sexes, 
faintly pubescent with dusky hairlets. Peduncle very short, 3—4, with 
—8 flowers. Pedicels of same length. Sepals 2+ 2!/,’, broadly ovate, 
acute, sparingly pubescent, or glabrate. Corolla white, with a tube of 
4—5". Ovary faintly pubescent. Capsule subquadrangular, pointed, 
12’ X 6—8", the suberiform epicarp deeply furrowed or runcinate.

ahu! in forests between Kalihi and Ewa (Remy 572). Differs from var. 8 of P. glab 
in Fania and the size of the tree. Mann’s pl applies rt fertile flower 
of the former, but as he saga Remy’s number his may stand. Leaves as 
the rb species, but glabro 
5. P, terminaloides, Dea — Gray, Bot. U. S. EF. Exp. p. 
A stiff shrub, 6—10 ft. high, the young shoots covered with a i or 
rust-colored tomentum. Leaves crowded near the ends of the branches, 
coriaceous, the upper side wrinkled with a close areolar network, the lower 
side woolly, but glabrate with age, obovate rounded or bluntly acuminate, 
gradually tapering into a short petiole, 3—4’  1—1/2‘. Inflor. axillary 
or cauline, short, rong the thick peduncle '/2—1 long, the flowers 
di 
almost sessile. No erence as regards sexes, fertile flowers being as 
often found near the end ok the branch as on the bare stem. Sepals 
ovate, 1—2", tomentose. Corolla creamy, the short, 2!/2—3”, its

Huulalai (M. & B.); Lanai! ; similar form from the low and pa hills of the east end of 
Oahu! Generally only one, or at most two capsules mature in an inflorescence, and often 
appear sessile. The species is characteristic of the scrub below ae above the forest zone. 
6. P, cauliflorum, Mann, Enum. no. 18. A tree, 30 ft. high, the 
trunk a foot in diameter, loosely branched. eee Sinwided at the ends 
of the stout and stiff branches, coriaceous, closely areolate above, elongate

narrowing into a petiole of 1/2‘, pale green, densely covered underneath 
with a soft fawn- or pale lemon-colored Saray Fertile fl. cauline on
